A 16-year-old youth from Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Que., faces a host of charges after leading OPP in a chase on Highway 401 this week.

Stormont Dundas and Glengarry OPP allege the teen failed to stop for officers who wanted him to pull over after a traffic violation Wednesday.

The chase reached speeds of 209 km/h in the 100 km/h zone before officers were able to intercept the vehicle and bring it to a stop.

The teen, whose identity cannot be released under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, was charged with stunt driving under the Highway Traffic Act, as well as the criminal code charges of flight while pursued by peace officers.

He was released from police custody to appear in Cornwall court on Feb. 21.
